PHILROYs' VOLT Kit
Philroy prefers chalk grips, very much in the spirit of the CrossFit OGs. He mainly trains using the HyperGrip+ V2 (Chalk) and, when needed, will compete in the UltraGrip+ V2. Philroy believes in training your grip properly, so while chalk grips perform exceptionally well, they still demand strength and control, helping build a stronger grip over time.
